Well. Time has come to get the A6 rolling lol. Plan as of right now get it chipped-downpipes-exhaust. Turbo will have to wait. Let me know what you guys prefer and have experience with. its for a 2000 Audi A6 2.7T Tiptronic. And what does GIAC stand for? and the same for APR? ---

GIAC = Garrett Integrated Automotive Corp. APR = Audi Performance and Racing And I chose Garrett (and had a choice between many) to sell. ---

i loved my upsolute 1bar chip, but now i moved on to GIAC… i feel like its more agressive than the APR’s ive been in, not to mention GIAC just had better programs for my car, like the 104octane program, etc… ---

dave, get apr and get vtune, advantage is you have a safe, smooth reliable tune that doesnt sac. fuel economy, and then you can use you cruse control stalk and switch between a vtune setting, and you can use your own laptop to do the tuning… giac is a nice program, but apr is much safer… =) best of luck :tup: ---

I had/have an APR chip and exhaust in my B5 1.8T. I drove and raced the car for… 3 years or so? And my younger brother has it now. All told it’s got maybe 60k miles on it with the mods, daily driven all year, and nary a problem to be had. I never drove any GIAC tuned cars, but I don’t think you can go wrong with them either. ---
